One persistant problem is the rapidly growing number of polygons in the scene. When the camera moves back and forth, the angular nature of low-polygon objects sticks out like a sore thumb. I'm working on techniques to minimize this.
Is the panning effect going to work on my Mac (v.2.8)?
Also, have you thought about creating a swimming jelly, like a box jelly? It sounds like an interesting challenge.
